in 1980 after ronald reagan had been elected and defeated jimmy carter, there was a coming together on the alaska lands bill. that was passed during a lame- duck session in part because the election suggested that this was the best they were going to get on the issue. sometimes elections forced one side to adjust its positions. host: some critics of the senate point to what has become essentially an automatic filibuster and a 60 vote threshold needed for any legislation to move forward. there's been discussion about filibuster reform. bring us up to speed on when the current system became currency? guest: 1975 the filibuster was changed from two thirds to three fifth with the idea it would make it easier to stop a filibuster. what it did was to make it more likely majority leaders would file cloture motions stand minority leaders would look for 41 votes to stop them. that tactic has been increasing steadily, particularly starting in the late-1980s. it has increased to the point where there's a cloture vote on every motion to proceed. 60 votes, started out as a reform, has now become se
